A Homemade Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino, an easy copycat recipe with a smooth creamy taste to will keep you coming back, includes video!
Equipment
- 1 Blender
- 1 Espresso Machine or Coffee Machine
- 1 Serving Glass
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups Ice
- ¾ cup Milk
- 3 tbsp Caramel Sauce
- 2 tbsp Granulated Sugar
- ¼ tsp Vanilla Bean Extract See our small batch vanilla extract
- ⅛ tsp Xanthan Gum
- Whipped Cream for topping
- Caramel Sauce for topping
Instructions
- Brew 1-2 shots of espresso (or ~4 oz of strong brewed coffee). Place it in the fridge to cool while we move on to the next step.
- Pour 1 ½ cups of ice into the blender, then take the espresso (now cooled) out of the fridge and add to the blender.
- Add the milk of your choice into the blender, then follow it up by adding the caramel sauce and granulated sugar.
- Add in the vanilla bean extract. Next, add in the xanthan gum (optional) to thicken texture and make it extra creamy.
- Make sure the lid is secure (avoid a BIG Frappuccino mess), then blend it up on the frozen drink setting, or similar setting, for about 1 minute. Keep blending until it is smooth and creamy.
- Remove the lid from the blender and add the frappuccino mixture to your serving glass. Add whipped cream and then add caramel sauce to the top. I try to do it in a criss cross or swirl pattern. Enjoy your frappuccino!
